Making a Stand

My son and I recently went a month or so with no television......and it was wonderful. But alas, all good things must come to an end, and we were generously gifted a hand-me-down TV from my son's uncle. But it was formerly wall-mounted and I just don't like that look, so I set out to make a stand for it. Living by the beach, I've collected random pieces of driftwood over time, thinking that someday I'd do something with them. I sorted through my stockpile and found a beautiful little piece, twisted some screws into (thankfully driftwood is oh-so-soft) and wrapped craft string around the screws. Voila! New TV stand:
